Geopark is a tape of natural parks, which is advanced by the workers who have been worked in the study of geological heritage protection for a long time. UNESCO defines the Geopark that a Geopark is an area with a geological heritage of significance, with a coherent and strong management structure and where a sustainable economic development strategy is in place. A Geopark creates enhanced employment opportunities for the people who live there bringing sustainable and real economic benefit, usually through the development of sustainable tourism. In the framework of a Geopark, geological heritage and geological knowledge is shared with the broad public and linked with broader aspects of the natural and cultural environment, which are often closely related or determined to geology and landscape. The purposes that UNESCO stressed Geopark establishment are:①protect the geological heritage and its environment;②promote popularization-education on earth science and research;③distribute geological heritage resources rationally to promote continuable development of the socio-economic. The establishment of Geopark on the one hand realizes the protection of geological relics, on the other hand, successfully promotes local tourism development, enhances local economic strength, increase the employment opportunities of local residents, accomplishes local environmental, economic and cultural development of coordination.Because of the geological background characteristics, peculiar landscape bears geo-science knowledge, However, due to the subsidiarity function and hidden service of tourism interpretation, the tour quality is not good.In view of this, on the basis of comprehensive scenic tourist interpretation system,the paper put forward the geopark tourist interpretation system FORCOM framework: interpretation feedback, interpretation object, interpretation receiver, interpretation content, interpretation organization,interpretation media. Interpretation links, organization links and protection links ensure the healthy functioning of interpretation system. In order to verify the geological park tourist interpretation system FORCOM architecture applicability and operability, the paper takes Luzhai Xiang Qiao national geopark in Guangxi as an example, and tries to make detailed and systemic planning for the tourism interpretation system in empirical research. After on-site interviewing and researching, the problems existing in the tourism interpretation system have been pointed out, as the interpretaton media: geological museum of science content is low, lack of scientific and normative in interpretation content; as the interpretation organization: lack of interpretation management committee and tourism interpretation sector .Meanwhile, under the premise of current situation and problems of interpretation system, the paper analyse six elements of Geopark tourism interpretation system in FORCOM architecture,and make systemic planning on Luzhai Xiang Qiaonational geopark.This paper is divided into five chapters:ChapterⅠ: Introduction. The background and significance of the study has been elaborated, the development status of the geopark has been introduced, the research progress at home and abroad has been accounted, the research ideal and methods of this article has been pointed out;ChapterⅡ: Basic concepts and theoretical basis. In order to lay the foundation for the third chapter, the related concepts of geopark and interpretation has been analyzed.ChapterⅢ: Geopark tourism interpretation system construction.Based on the former systemframe, the author endeavored to make an improvement to perfect it on the view of organization system theory and construct a new geopark interpretation systemframe FORCOM.With the foundation of the newframe, the author went on to have a detailed analysis of each factor of the system and the function of the system.ChapterⅣ: A Case Study of Guangxi Luzhai Xiang Qiao national geopark. Based on the geopark interpretation systemframe FORCOM, the paper analyses the interpretation system of Luzhai Xiangqiao national geopark, and testified the framework of scientific and practical.Chapterⅴ: Conclusion.The main conclusions of the full text have been summarized, the innovation in this paper has been elaborated, and the problems and prospects for future research have been raised.The main conclusions of this paper are summarized as follows:Ⅰ. Geopark interpretation system separates geological landscapes from impersonator, objects and some fairy tales. Tourism interpretation system reveals the hidden value in science and aesthetic behind the landscape, and to the original appearance of geological sciences, so that realize "Education in Entertainment, Education in Tourism";Ⅱ. Geopark is a geological heritage landscape as a core, and the geological heritage landscapes as a tourism resource for the the public enjoyment. Because of the tourism interpretation system in view of adaptability and geological park peculiarities, the paper puts porward the geopark interpretation system FORCOM framework;Ⅲ. Interpretation organization guarantee for the interpretation system. As a complete Geopark interpretation system, it also needs to consider the support system. Geopark interpretation is highly specialized human activities.With the help of back system's planning and control, the interpretation system can run well;Ⅳ. Interpretation feedback is the perfect standard to the interpretation system. Interpretation system affects directly impact on science education function and tourist satisfaction. Therefore, the interpretation feedback system is to continuously upgrade the quality of park interpretation, and ensure the science to interpretation system;Ⅴ. In order to verify the Geopark Interpretation System FORCOM construction, the paper takes Guangxi Luzhai Xiang Qiao National Geopark as an example. Based on geopark interpretation system FORCOM framework of six elements, the paper analyses and design the Xiang Qiao National Geopark tourism interpretation system.Innovations in this paper:Ⅰ.Trying to break the traditional interpretation system of"resources, media, receiver", the author endeavored to make an improvement to perfect it on the view of organization systemtheory and construct a new geopark interpretation systemframe FORCOM;Ⅱ. For the geopark is different from other types of tourist destinations, the paper built Geopark interpretation system FORCOM structure;Ⅲ. Focus on how to use tourism interpretation system to stimulate the protection of conscious behavior, break the traditional perspective of resources management and neglect the tourists'management practices.
